I haven't been in the car market for some time now but aren't most decent cars in the $60K range now? If I was younger again and trying to work my way up in the world, I wouldn't buy new. I'd buy a used car buy one that had a lot of useful life left.
Well, a two fer - no more tax dollars we don't have to subsidize well off people's purchase of an EV and exit the Paris Climate Agreement that has hammered both the US and Euro economies and energy prices paid by the working middle class while leaving India and the chicoms off the hook. Just remember the dem's green energy policy was meant to make the US look like our moral superiors in Europe.

THE MORNING RANT: Trump Plans to Kill EV Tax Credit AND Exit the Paris Climate Agreement
—Buck Throckmorton
While all the usual suspects, including NeverTrump faux-conservatives, have been distracted and losing their minds over President-elect Trump’s appointments this past week, Trump and his team have simultaneously been laying the groundwork to dismantle Biden’s climate apparatus.
As we savor these headlines below, just remember that the “principled conservatives” at outlets such as National Review and The Dispatch fervently fought to keep Trump out of the White House and keep Kamala/Obama/Biden in power, which would have had the effect of making permanent the agenda of climate communism. Had Conservative, Inc. had its way, there would be no off ramp from the government mandated “EV transition,” and the United States would still be professing obedience to the Paris CommunismClimate Agreement.
Through all these years of writing EV roundups and condemning EV subsidies, this is a headline I always hoped to see:
President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is planning to kill the $7,500 consumer tax credit for electric-vehicle purchases as part of broader tax-reform legislation, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
Except for Tesla, the business plan for all the companies manufacturing electric vehicles in the United States has been government mandating that customers buy EVs, and then the government also providing huge incentives to customers and manufacturers to make the sale of the unwanted EVs feasible.
But what about Tesla? Elon Musk has been enjoying the subsidies, but his company doesn’t need them to profitably sell Teslas. Killing off the $7,500 tax credit will deal a death blow to the electric products from his competitors such as Ford, General Motors, VW, and Rivian.
Ending the tax credit could have grave implications for an already stalling U.S. EV transition. And yet representatives of Tesla - by far the nation's largest EV seller - have told a Trump-transition committee they support ending the subsidy, said the two sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Elon Musk, one of Trump's biggest backers and the world's richest person, said earlier this year that killing the subsidy might slightly hurt Tesla sales but would devastate its U.S. EV competitors, which include legacy automakers such as General Motors.
Ford and GM may just have to give up on the EV fairy-tale and go back to profitably manufacturing gasoline-powered cars for that huge mass market, while Tesla profitably corners the EV niche.
If this weren’t enough good news, Donald Trump is also planning to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, which forces countries to accept a de-civilizational, de-carbonization agenda. Actually, Trump will be having the US re-withdraw, because after he withdrew from the climate agreement in his first term, Joe Biden re-subjugated the US to the global climate communists when he took office in 2021.
Nothing says "Scholars" like a leftard screed with nothing behind it. Sort of like the dazzler screams "MBA". Nothing says "accomplishments" like presiding over the returning of some jobs killed by democrats, opening our borders, biggest inflation in decades, and ignoring dirty elections run by democrats. Nothing insurrectionary about dirty elections and attempting to use the US intelligence agencies and the DOJ to unseat an elected president.
A quote from H.L Mencken, truer today than when he wrote it.
* Liberty and democracy are eternal enemies, and every one knows it who has ever given any sober reflection to the matter. A democratic state may profess to venerate the name, and even pass laws making it officially sacred, but it simply cannot tolerate the thing. In order to keep any coherence in the governmental process, to prevent the wildest anarchy in thought and act, the government must put limits upon the free play of opinion. In part, it can reach that end by mere propaganda, by the bald force of its authority — that is, by making certain doctrines officially infamous. But in part it must resort to force, i.e., to law. One of the main purposes of laws in a democratic society is to put burdens upon intelligence and reduce it to impotence. Ostensibly, their aim is to penalize anti-social acts; actually their aim is to penalize heretical opinions. At least ninety-five Americans out of every 100 believe that this process is honest and even laudable; it is practically impossible to convince them that there is anything evil in it. In other words, they cannot grasp the concept of liberty. Always they condition it with the doctrine that the state, i.e., the majority, has a sort of right of eminent domain in acts, and even in ideas — that it is perfectly free, whenever it is so disposed, to forbid a man to say what he honestly believes. Whenever his notions show signs of becoming "dangerous," ie, of being heard and attended to, it exercises that prerogative. And the overwhelming majority of citizens believe in supporting it in the outrage. Including especially the Liberals, who pretend — and often quite honestly believe — that they are hot for liberty. They never really are. Deep down in their hearts they know, as good democrats, that liberty would be fatal to democracy — that a government based upon shifting and irrational opinion must keep it within bounds or run a constant risk of disaster. They themselves, as a practical matter, advocate only certain narrow kinds of liberty — liberty, that is, for the persons they happen to favor. The rights of other persons do not seem to interest them. If a law were passed tomorrow taking away the property of a large group of presumably well-to-do persons — say, bondholders of the railroads — without compensation and without even colorable reason, they would not oppose it; they would be in favor of it. The liberty to have and hold property is not one they recognize. They believe only in the liberty to envy, hate and loot the man who has it.

Nooooooooooooooooo
Liberal tears
Well frack
Frackin’ Ay!
None of that has anything to do with RV's. Your Tesla also depreciates by 50% in 2 years.
Yes, please.
I haven't been in the car market for some time now but aren't most decent cars in the $60K range now? If I was younger again and trying to work my way up in the world, I wouldn't buy new. I'd buy a used car buy one that had a lot of useful life left.
Maybe but the left will fight it tooth, nail and tax dollar.
For our geriatric posters.
Can't make this shit up…
Dazzlers donations are paying off.

Uh oh. Another Dem is trying to get off the plantation.
Trump is going to pardon Adams
Well, this might get interesting.
